Covered Calls Established in Uber Technologies Inc.

Today my buy/write net debit limit order was executed and 500 shares of Uber Technologies Inc.(ticker symbol UBER) stock were purchased at $44.51 and 5 September 8th, 2023 $43.00 Call options were sold at $2.33 per share -- a net debit of $42.18 per share -- so the potential time value profit if the stock is in-the-money and therefore closed out by assignment at expiration is $.82 per share [$2.33 Call options premium - ($44.51 stock purchase price - $43.00 strike price)].  

This is a repeat of eight similar Covered Calls positions in Uber during the past four months and all were successfully assigned on their respective options expiration dates. Like the prior Uber positions, today's new position was established at an in-the-money strike price with an approximate probability when this position was established that the stock will be in-the-money and therefore assigned on the options expiration date of 65.9%.

As detailed below, a potential outcome for this Uber Technologies investment is +1.9% absolute return-on-investment for the next 17 days (equivalent to +41.4% annualized-return-on-investment) if the stock closes above the $43.00 strike price on the September 8th, 2023 options expiration date.
